La mutación jurisprudencial y la coexistencia de principios, una limitación en el proceso de interpretación y aplicación normativa

La Constitución es comúnmente aceptada como la norma de mayor jerarquía en el Estado; en ella se ven reflejadas los fundamentos filosóficos, morales y jurídicos de la comunidad que se acoge al contrato social que suscribe. El texto de la Constitución determina la estructura, el funcionamiento y los del Estado y, por consiguiente, debe garantizar estabilidad y coherencia en los conceptos y las decisiones de la práctica jurídica. Así las cosas, la Constitución se vale de principios morales, filosóficos y jurídicos entre otros para garantizar una interpretación y aplicación de la norma de manera ecuánime y consistente. Sin embargo, para tales fines los textos constitucionales no deben, ni pueden ser rígidos e inmutables; contrario a ello deben contemplar mecanismos de reforma que permitan adaptar la carta magna a los fenómenos y situaciones sociales que se viven. No obstante, las condiciones sociales son tan dinámicas que en ocasiones las transformaciones al texto constitucional no discurren por el proceso de reforma establecido, sino que se dan por vía de la interpretación jurisprudencial. Pero ¿Qué sucede cuando el juez en su práctica jurídica cotidiana se encuentra con un cambio en la interpretación de la Constitución por causa jurisprudencial? es decir una mutación constitucional, que colisiona con los principios de derecho consagrados en la misma Constitución. Mediante la presente investigación se pretendió determinar si este fenómeno se presenta en la práctica jurídica cotidiana y de qué manera se ha resuelto el conflicto teórico y práctico.Universidad Libre Seccional Pereira -- Facultad de Derecho, Ciencias Políticas y Sociales -- Maestría en Derecho AdministrativoThe Constitution is commonly accepted as the highest rule in the State; in it are reflected the philosophical, moral and legal foundations of the community that embraces the social contract that it signs. The text of the Constitution determines the structure, operation and those of the State and, therefore, must guarantee stability and coherence in the concepts and decisions of legal practice. Thus, the Constitution uses moral, philosophical and legal principles, among others, to guarantee an equanimous and consistent interpretation and application of the norm. However, for such purposes the constitutional texts should not, nor can they be rigid and immutable; Contrary to this, they must contemplate reform mechanisms that allow adapting the Magna Carta to the phenomena and social situations that are experienced. However, social conditions are so dynamic that sometimes the transformations to the constitutional text do not occur through the established reform process, but are given by way of jurisprudential interpretation. But what happens when the judge in his daily legal practice encounters a change in the interpretation of the Constitution for jurisprudential reasons, that is, a constitutional mutation, which collides with the principles of law enshrined in the Constitution itself. By means of the present investigation it was tried to determine if this phenomenon appears in the daily legal practice and in what way the theoretical and practical conflict has been resolved

Four chamber right ventricular longitudinal strain versus right free wall longitudinal strain. Prognostic value in patients with left heart disease

Background: There is no consensus on which right ventricle (RV) strain parameter should be used in the clinical practice: four chamber RV longitudinal strain (4CH RV-LS) or free wall longitudinal strain (FWLS). The aim of this study was to analyze which RV strain parameter better predicts prognosis in patients with left heart disease. Methods: One hundred and three outpatients with several degrees of functional tricuspid regurgitation severity secondary to left heart disease were prospectively included. 4CH RV-LS and FWLS were assessed using speckle tracking. Left ventricular (LV) systolic function was determined using LV ejection fraction and RV systolic function using tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE). Patients were followed up for 23.1 ± 12.4 months for an endpoint of cardiac hospitalization due to heart failure. Results: The cutoff value related to RV dysfunction (TAPSE < 17 mm) was lower, in absolute value, for 4CH RV-LS (4CH RV-LS = –17.3%; FWLS = –19.5%). There were 33 adverse events during the follow-up. Patients with 4CH RV-LS > –17.3% (log rank [LR] = 22.033; p < 0.001); FWLS > –19.5% (LR = 12.2; p < 0.001), TAPSE < 17 mm (LR = 17.4; p < 0.001) and LV systolic dysfunction (LR = 13.3; p < 0.001) had lower event-free survival (Kaplan Meier). In Cox multivariate analysis, 4CH RV-LS > –17.3% (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.593; p < 0.002), TAPSE < 17 (HR = 2.093; p < 0.055) and LV systolic dysfunction (HR = 2.087; p < 0,054) had prognostic value, whereas FWLS did not reach significance. Conclusions: Although both 4CH RV-LS and FWLS have prognostic value, 4CH RV-LS is a better predictor of episodes of heart failure in patients with left heart disease, providing additional information to that obtained by TAPSE.

Dynamics of isolated-photon plus jet production in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The dynamics of isolated-photon plus jet production in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV has been studied with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using an integrated luminosity of 37 pb(-1). Measurements of isolated-photon plus jet bin-averaged cross sections are presented as functions of photon transverse energy, jet transverse momentum and jet rapidity. In addition, the bin-averaged cross sections as functions of the difference between the azimuthal angles of the photon and the jet, the photon jet invariant mass and the scattering angle in the photon jet centre-of-mass frame have been measured. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations are compared to the measurements and provide a good description of the data, except for the case of the azimuthal opening angle

Measurement of the cross-section for W boson production in association with b-jets in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This paper reports a measurement of the W+b-jets (W+b+X and W+b (b) over bar +X) production cross-section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC. These results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb(-1), collected with the ATLAS detector. Cross-sections are presented as a function of jet multiplicity and of the transverse momentum of the leading b-jet for both the muon and electron decay modes of the W boson. The W+b-jets cross-section, corrected for all known detector effects, is quoted in a limited kinematic range. Combining the muon and electron channels, the fiducial cross-section for W+b-jets is measured to be 7.1 +/- 0.5 (stat) +/- 1.4 (syst) pb, consistent with the next-to-leading order QCD prediction, corrected for non-perturbative and double-parton interactions (DPI) contributions, of 4.70 +/- 0.09 (stat) (+0.60)(-0.49) (scale) +/- 0.06 (PDF) +/- 0.16 (non-pert) (+0.52)(-0.38) (DPI) pb

Triggers for displaced decays of long-lived neutral particles in the ATLAS detector

A set of three dedicated triggers designed to detect long-lived neutral particles decaying throughout the ATLAS detector to a pair of hadronic jets is described. The efficiencies of the triggers for selecting displaced decays as a function of the decay position are presented for simulated events. The effect of pile-up interactions on the trigger efficiencies and the dependence of the trigger rate on instantaneous luminosity during the 2012 data-taking period at the LHC are discussed

Search for dark matter candidates and large extra dimensions in events with a jet and missing transverse momentum with the ATLAS detector

A search for new phenomena in events with a high-energy jet and large missing transverse momentum is performed using data from proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large flatiron Collider. Four kinematic regions are explored using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1). No excess of events beyond expectations from Standard Model processes is observed, and limits are set on large extra dimensions and the pair production of dark matter particles

ATLAS search for new phenomena in dijet mass and angular distributions using pp collisions at root s=7 TeV

Mass and angular distributions of dijets produced in LHC proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy root s = 7TeV have been studied with the ATLAS detector using the full 2011 data set with an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb(-1). Dijet masses up to similar to 4.0TeV have been probed. No resonance-like features have been observed in the dijet mass spectrum, and all angular distributions are consistent with the predictions of QCD. Exclusion limits on six hypotheses of new phenomena have been set at 95% CL in terms of mass or energy scale, as appropriate. These hypotheses include excited quarks below 2.83 TeV, colour octet scalars below 1.86TeV, heavy W bosons below 1.68 TeV, string resonances below 3.61 TeV, quantum black holes with six extra space-time dimensions for quantum gravity scales below 4.11 TeV, and quark contact interactions below a compositeness scale of 7.6 TeV in a destructive interference scenario
